Fit: I like the “All Access Fit” with 686 and it accommodates my short rather thick legs.

Construction: 686 makes pretty solid clothes for the price point.

Insulation/Warmth: 40g is pretty warm and it’s not an everyday kind of pant for me. This would be my cold, somewhat dry n windy pant. If you run cold or ride in cold dry areas though this is a great pant.

Waterproofing: It’s not that bad but it’s more on the average side of things. It can handle some wet snow but it’s mostly for dryer snow.

Breathability: Didn’t feel like there was much breathing going on. That being said these pants were very hot for me so I felt they couldn’t regulate. There was a little sauna crotch going on here.

Overall: This is for those that run a little more on the cold side and like a little fill in their pants at all times or those that primarily see cold weather.
